As far as I know the leaked list does not exactly list "weaknesses"/interesting terror targets of the various countries, it only lists places which are of strategic importance to the USA. Or to put it in different words: It's a list of places that the USA cares about about even though they are outside of the USA.

For example, in my country it does not mention any of the obvious terrorist targets (atomic power plants etc.) What it does list for my country is a few deep sea internet cables and a number of companies which produce goods no other companies produce (manufacturers of weapons and special medicines for example).

By the way, today I read something interesting about that "rape" charge against Assange. The real trick is that Sweden's law has a very disturbing definition of "rape", one that goes far beyond what you and me understand when we hear the word "rape". In Sweden, if a man and a woman have mutual consent sex but the condome breaks, the man can be accused of rape. Something similar happened to Assange. It's a very weird law and probably the reason why Sweden has the highest percentage of rape accusations in the world. Foreigners visiting Sweden (like Assange) usually don't know this, so there is a good chance Assange was actually tricked to commit a "crime" that he didn't even know it was considered a crime because it is no crime in other countries. It is also known that only short before the "rape", the woman who accused him of rape visited an organization in Miami which is known to be very close to the CIA...

A) That's not even remotely true.  It's a crime to break a condom and not tell a woman you broke it,(as in, you broke it yourself intentionally) but it's not rape... and as a crime it doesn't carry a penalty high enough to warrant extradition.  It's penalty is a minor fine.

B) She was a feminist speaker, who went to a feminist orginization who got money from the CIA that wants to promote equal rights in Cuba.  There isn't anything remotley suspious about that.   Unless you think people should swear off civil rights causes based on funding.   Considering one of the big things feminism fights against hardest is false beliefs about rape... I can't imagine a feminist going out of their way to perpetuate one of the biggest myths about rape that false accusals are common.

Whatever you read, you either misread or they didn't have a firm grip about what they were writing about and just took the conspiracy line straight from the guy's lawyer.
